How to change NV Keyboard controls, out of game?

Wassaperwaffle everyone, i got problems with my NV ingame when i change my keyboard buttons it will revert to default everytime i open the game. So i took alook in some Falloutprefs.ini and found the controls section but it translate to somethign like bAlwaysRunByDefault=1bBackground Mouse=0bBackground Keyboard=1Forward=0011FF13Back=001FFF14Slide Left=001EFF17Slide Right=0020FF16Use=00FF0011Activate=0012FF0ABlock=00380110Ready Item=0013FF0CCrouch/Sneak=001DFF08Run=002AFFFFAlways Run=003AFFFFAuto Move=0010FFFFJump=0039FF0DToggle POV=0021020FMenu Mode=000FFF0BRest=0014FF07Vats=002FFF0EHotkey1=0002FFFFAmmo Swap=0003FF01Hotkey3=0004FFFF

idk what these codes are and am wondering if there is a way to translate it to normal keys so i can play normal again. Please let me know!

I believe it's Fallout_default.ini that you need to change. Every time you use the game launcher, it resets everything based on the settings in that file. Read-only permissions shouldn't make a difference.

It looks like your setup is fine. Try adding these lines between fMouseSensitivity and [Water] so that the launcher doesn't change it (and don't forget to back your ini files up before doing anything to them). Make sure there aren't any duplicate entries, and you should be good.

Something else comes to mind... you say the changes you make while playing don't save. Is it possible you quit the game using ALT+F4 or QQQ or something similar? If so, try launching the game with the vanilla launcher, make your changes and quit via the menu.
